I've decided that I'd like to try and get a new mock Parliament together. Now, if anyone is good with drawing maps up (I'm not. If you could PM me and ask for the job, it's first come, first get to do. Please help me out). I'll post the parties and the history of our new fictional country as well as constituencies.

CYRENCIA - A large industrialized nation governed by a Parliament, the House of Equals. It is located to the north of the United States (What would be where Canada is). Population is rougly 2\3rds of the U.S. Mostly English speaking population with a minor French stronghold in Northern Fontaine Province.

PROVINCES:

DeLeon - DeLeon is the Capital City of Cyrencia and its constituency surrounds the city and most of the province of Fontaine as well. DeLeon is the largest constituency and tends to be stridently leftist in it's economic and social views.

Northern Fontaine - A smaller French speaking province. Fairly conservative. Often threatens to revolt from Cyrencia and form it's own nation.

Valentine Second largest province. Valentine is a generally liberal province that tends to support social democracy.

POLITICAL PARTIES:

Social Democratic Party - Largest political party in Cyrencia. The SDP has been out of power for recent years, however and have only just regained the majority. The SDP is socially and economically leftist. Their largest support comes from Valentine and DeLeon.

National Reform Party - Capitalistic economically but socially moderate party. Second largest in Cyrencia. Only recently lost power after 5 years in power. They are most staunchly supported in Atlantica.

Regional Rights Party - Right wing extreme seperatist party heavily concentrated in Northern Fontaine. Has little appeal elsewhere as a "single issue" party. Elects a handful of MPs.

Independent Labor Party - Left leaning political party that is economically Marxist and takes no stand on social issues.

So far, this is what I have. If anyone would like to help out with suggestions and stuff, we could get a new Parliament started

I will make the map. Does the southern border need to line up with the US' northern border, since Cyrencia is located where Canada should be? Should some major cities, then, be located on the Great Lakes?

Quote from: New York Times, September 15, 1960

Rep. Wharton says being a Congressman is a full-time job these days; there would be no time for doing television comedies.

Mr. Vidal shrugs and lets his cocker spaniel lick the Chateau Yquem off his fingers.

Perhaps the next step is to have interested participants choose home states, a Cyrencian persona and start an election campaign for the House of Equals?

Yep. Although we'll all pretty much be serving. Once everyone's signed in that expressed interest (I'll wait a couple days for that unless we really get a lot off the bat), we'll begin the campaign for PM.
